What a great day we had today with Jason and Louise from Diamond Awl Leather Workshop. We made coin purses and throughly enjoyed ourselves. We made a bevelled edge on our leather blanks (took a bit of practice!), stained and polished the edges and then got to grips with the stitching. Again some more practice wielding two needles at once on the same piece of waxed thread and lots of muttering under our breath to get the stitch sequence correct.
We all managed to produce a lovely little purse and had a great sense of achievement at the end of the session. Jason and Louise were great; we were inspired!
